Hi Susanna  Just for you to have an idea I am a Dominican Republic resident, I have been leaving here the past 6 years, and I have hear a lot of this type of stories, as well as seen lots of girls that have been foolish really badly.  Take a look to this link: http://dr1.com/articles/sankies.shtml I do not try to be a pesimist but you better have your eyes open.  I am married to a great dominican guy so you cannot generalized, but this is a really common practice, specialy dominican guys.     Â
